My cat encouraged me to buy guns. Something about overthrowing human bourgeois and installing a cat proletariat government,
Shit yours too?
Yes, she has a little barrette and constantly quotes Meowarx.
The cat was lying: if one looks at who does all the work and who gets fed on somebody else's work without having to do anything for it, one can only conclude that the cat is the bourgeois.
Unless we're talking about strays or farm cats (repectivelly the poor and working class of the species)
Well of course, most popular revolutions are captured by even more corrupt people (or cats) who want to overthrow the already corrupt ones so they can be corrupt themselves instead.
The problem with popular revolutions isn't generally the population themselves, it's the people who end up in the drivers seat, and the fact that the successful ones will be the ones who know how to manipulate said population into doing... well, pretty much anything, because unfortunately due to human nature and poor education levels that's rarely very difficult. If anybody ever figures out how to do a people's revolution that is actually for the people, the world's going to become a lot better place. I'm not holding my breath though.
